Honorable Men

The New Warrior community is a group of men who specially pride themselves on being honorable. Tim Goldich, President NCFM Chicago Chapter and author of, Loving Men, Respecting Women: The Future of Gender Politics joined that community several years ago. He came to realize just how vulnerable honorable men are to having their honor used against them. Our fate may indeed depend upon honorable conduct. To better understand how the misuse of Man’s honor is a root cause of issues and ideas found on this website you should first read Mr. Goldich’s article, The Honorable Man. It lights the way to understanding how The Honorable Man can be manipulated into becoming The Complacent Man.

Reputable Researchers need help with study about abused men

Researchers at Clark University and Bridgewater State University are conducting a study on men who experienced aggression from their girlfriends, wives, or female partners. If you are a man between the ages of 18-59 and have experienced aggression from a female partner at some point during your life, you may be eligible to participate in this study. We invite you to follow this link to the study webpage http://www.clarku.edu/faculty/dhines/mensdvstudy.htm where you can complete an anonymous Internet survey about your experiences. The survey takes about 20-30 minutes to complete, is under the direction of Denise A. Hines, Ph.D., Clark University, and is being funded by the National Institutes of Health. Participation is completely voluntary and you can withdraw your participation at any time. Posted June 1, 2012.

Stop Abuse for Everyone, one of the most comprehensive and oldest sites dedicated to victims of domestic violence. The site was recently upgraded with the assistance of NCFM. The site includes an interactive map of north America for helping to find shelter services that might or do help abused men.

File a Federal Complaint

If you have specific instances of discrimination against male domestic violence victims by any government-funded DV program anywhere in the U.S., please send all evidence you have to the following federal agencies as a complaint, and state that this violates United States Code, Title 42, Section 3789d(c)(1). Give them as much evidence as you can. They are supposed to investigate it. After several months you may get a letter back saying there is "insufficient evidence" and that they need more information such as dates and times of the discrimination, names of the programs and contact info, names and contact info of witnesses, documents or records, and a detailed chronological narrative. So, re regarding evidence, the more the better.
You can send the complaints by email, mail, or both. Send them to:
Office of Civil Rights
Office of Justice Programs
U.S. Department of Justice
810 7th Street, NW
Washington, DV 20531
Office of the Inspector General

Julie Brand, M.S.

Julie was first introduced to NCFM in 2005 when she participated in a family violence conference in San Diego and heard for the first time about male victims of domestic violence. She is a strong advocate for our organization, with a special focus on developing awareness, support and equal services for male victims of sexual abuse.

Julie holds a Master’s degree in Counseling from North Dakota State University and enjoyed a distinguished 25-year career as a school counselor. Retired since 2004, she uses her unique perspective as both an experienced counselor and a resilient survivor of maternal incest to write and to speak about mother-daughter sexual abuse.

In 2006, she founded CAPER Consulting: Child Abuse Prevention, Education and Recovery, dedicated

She continues to educate and to empower audiences across the United States with her dynamic programs on maternal incest and the opportunities for recovery from childhood trauma. Her resiliency workshop offers proven strategies for helping victims of childhood maltreatment and interpersonal violence to become strong, healthy survivors. In addition to regional and state conferences, she is a frequent presenter at the Dallas “Crimes Against Children Conference” and at the annual NCAC “Symposium” in Huntsville.
Julie’s workshops include:
“The Best Kept Secret: Mother-Daughter Sexual Abuse,”
“Resiliency 101: From Victim to Survivor,”
“ A Close-up Look at Female Offenders in Positions of Trust”

Her workshop on the subject of female offenders explores how the gender of the perpetrator frequently impacts disclosures, whether or not reports are made to law enforcement, investigations, prosecutions, public opinion and sentencing. Gender is especially relevant when the perpetrator is an adult female in a position of trust and the victim is an adolescent male.

After her book became available on Amazon.com, Julie began to receive e-mail from other survivors all over the world. When adult male survivors of maternal incest wrote to say how similar their experiences and their trauma were to hers, she had an epiphany. She developed a second, lengthier version of her maternal abuse workshop so that she could incorporate a discussion of mother-son incest. A planned second edition of her book will include new material about mother-son sexual abuse as well. Her on-going research centers on female offenders who abuse children. Can we recognize their “grooming” behaviors and intervene in time to prevent sexual abuse?
